[A A]              [G G]
I just shook the handshake
[G G] [D D]
I just sealed the deal
[A A] [G G]
I'll try not to let them
[G G] [D D]
Take everything they can steal
[A A] [G G]
People always told me
[G G] [D D]
Don't forget your roots
[A A] [G G] [G G] [D D]
I know I can feel them underneath my leather boots

[G G] [G/F# G/F#] [Em Em] {A A] [D D] [A A] [Bm Bm]
You toss all the mornings lost to the clouds and you watch it go
[G G] [G/F# G/F#] [Em Em] {A A] [D D] [A A] [Bm Bm]
Your fairweather friends on a parachute binge get lost when the wind blows
[G G] [G/F# G/F#] [Em Em]
The handshake's stuck on the tip of my tongue
[Bm Bm]
It tastes like death but it looks like fun

[B B]
I was a loner
[E E] [D# D#] [G#m G#m]
I was just waiting by myself
[B B] [D D]
When you, warped temptress
[B B] [E E]
Rose to bring me happiness and wealth
[E E] [D# D#] [D D] [A A]
Black tears, black smile, black credit cards and shoes
[A A]
You can call all the people you want
[E E] [F# F#]
But it's you who's being used


[B B]
Under your black eyes, honey
[E E] [D# D#] [G#m G#m]
Right beneath your nose
[B B] [D D]
A A curse on all creation
[B B] [E E]
Every single thing you know
[E E] [D# D#] [D D] [A A]
White smoke, white light, white marble on the floor
[A A] [E E] [F# F#]
It would only take a few seconds of darkness to figure out what's in store
Little girl

[G G] [G/F# G/F#] [Em Em] {A A] [D D] [A A] [Bm Bm]
Ohhhh You convince yourself that you want it, but you don't know
[G G] [G/F# G/F#] [Em Em] {A A] [D D] [A A] [Bm Bm]
You keep trying to wash the blood from your hands, but it won't go
[G G] [G/F# G/F#] [Em Em]
We're gonna keep you on the run
[Bm Bm]
We got the handshake under our tongue
[Bm Bm]
We got the handshake under our tongue
[Bm Bm]
We got the handshake under our tongue
[Bm Bm]
We got the handshake under our tongue
[Bm Bm]
We got the handshake x15
